Optimal lineup

The highest-scoring legal lineup that could be formed from the players captured on that manager’s roster for that week. It is calculated after the games are over.

Efficiency

Actual starter points divided by optimal legal-lineup points. It measures how much of the roster’s available scoring was put into the lineup.

Points left

Optimal legal-lineup points minus actual starter points. Lower is better. This is not the same as total bench points.

Potential lineup flip

A week the manager actually lost, but the retrospective optimal legal lineup would have scored enough to beat that week’s opponent. A flip is shown for context; it is not itself a Report Card grade input.

Perfect lineup

A captured week where the actual starters matched the optimal legal score within rounding tolerance.

Postseason

Weeks 15–17 remain visible here because they happened. Manager Report Card grades use regular-season Weeks 1–14 so every manager is judged on the same number of games.
